I had 1 ¾ cups of homemade ‘Apple Pie Filling’ by Terri (AR) to use before it spoiled. Found this simple cake to use it in. I only had a half cup of vegetable oil left, so I used it and filled the rest of the measuring cup with applesauce – worked perfectly. The cake was finished baking in 35 minutes, any longer and it would have been dried out. For a simple cake, without any icing, this was wonderful. I cannot believe how moist it was and how many days it remained moist. I ate mine for breakfast and the rest of the family enjoyed theirs as a dessert in lunches and in the evening.

Great recipe! Super easy to make, my 10 year old did it with no trouble and it was very moist and delicious. I checked it at 35 minutes as Brian suggested and it was done, just a little crumb on the toothpick, perfect. Will be making this often!

This cake was easy to make, moist, and delicious. I did make a few changes, though. I substituted apple sauce for the oil, I used one cup white flour and one cup whole wheat flour, and I only used 1 cup of sugar and it's plenty sweet. Thanks for the recipe!

Yum! Turned out very moist and delicious. Definitely top with cool-whip, but it still is good without too. It was plenty sweet, I used homemade jarred apple pie filling. We all ate it last night for a treat, then hubby and I finished it off for breakfast this morning. Delicious! The only substitution I would make, which I always do, is to use unsweetened applesauce in place of the vegetable oil. I do this in any recipe calling for oil. It turns out just as moist and is waaaay healthier. Great recipe!

This cake is SO good! I made it at school for a class and everyone LOVED IT! It was very easy to make. My only problem was that it burned a little around the edges and the inside still hadn't baked, but I'm going to guess it was the oven. Two thumbs up! :-)
